Trackback — Tue, 25 Sep 2007 08:31:26 EDT

MNF: If there's a single most disappointing team (or even storyline) in the NFL this season, it's that the Saints are terrible. Not just a hard-luck 0-3, but their offense – which was so exciting last year – is anemic this season. Meanwhile, what's the deal with Reggie Bush?

@Shtickless: Yes, the Tim Tebow facts are a common gimmick for those pop-culture figures (Chuck Norris and Jack Bauer, as mentioned above, among others) who develop that aura of infallibility. Tebow's seem particularly overwhelming, especially given his age and relative lack of experience. I will now stop posting consecutive comments...

Aren't these Tim Tebow facts just ripping off the Brian Leonard facts from a few years ago?

One thing Tebow can't overcome is the awkwardness that is the left-handed pass. However, his vicious right stiff-arm more than makes up for it.

And Dan, could you please move over a bit? You're taking up too much space on the bandwagon.

Georgia Tech over Clemson? Did you not see the UVa/Tech game? I mean, I'm a Wahoo, and I'll be the first to say we suck, and we STILL beat Tech. Clemson in a rout.

@Len Bias Cocaine Surplus: When BC almost beat Miami in 2001, I couldn't quite believe that St. Pierre was going to pull off a winning drive. And then he tried to force a pass on 1st down instead of throwing it out of the endzone, following in a ridiculous INT and the first 74-yard PAT I've ever seen after all those excessive celebration flags.

Boy Howdy — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 11:35:34 EDT

This weekend, Louisville was absolutely stunned by Syracuse, LSU passed their first SEC test with flying colors and pulls off a fake FG in style that even the OBC had to smile at, Miami was Miami again, Texas looked like they should have looked all season, and Ohio State showed that they maybe aren't gonna need two quarters to triangulate their position and plot a course to the end zone every Saturday.

On the other hand, Florida wins a semi-nailbiter over The Orgeron, so we get a Tebow piece that's part fluff, part recycled Vin Diesel/Chuck Norris/Jack Bauer jokes.

Next week: Michigan State over Wisconsin, McFadden runs for 350 yards against North Texas, and DeSean Jackson returns a punt 109 yards for a TD, but pulls a Bump Bailey and crashes into the wall at the end of the run, ending his season. Next Monday's column? Urban Meyer LOLCats ("I can haz Will Hill?).

@xhack:

The BC defense is no joke this year, but I agree, the offense could tighten up. I'm also not a huge fan of the "Pass to establish the run" strategy when we need to kill off the game.

But I'm feeling good about this season, which is the first time I can say that about BC.

@Len Bias Cocaine Surplus: They looked sloppy yesterday. My guess is BC spends the week getting their asses chewed out by the coaching staff and hangs 40 or 50 on ZooMass Saturday.

And Pat White vs. Tebow? Tebow is a QB who can run. White is a RB who can kind of throw. I'll take the QB.

Yom Kippur on a Saturday puts a cramp on the Jewish college football viewer's style, but self-denial was a small price to pay for repentance. (Was it sacrilegious to DVR games unavailable to me during the day's observance, only to watch them in the evening?)

Not as sacrilegious as me breaking my fast with an Italian hoagie, replete with ham and salami. (I'm not big into the rituals of Judaism, as you might have deduced)
